I've seen this 'meeting friends of the opposite sex one-on-one for a chat' fall foul on so many occasions. The simple reality is this: unless the female meeting the guy is a total swamp donkey the guy will have on occasion had fantasies of fornication under a full moon whilst hordes of demons paint their writhing bodies with stripes of eggy-smelling semen. This is a fact.

In work there is a guy and a girl who became friends. This friendship meant they would occasionally go on lunch together. This became frequent, and then they'd drink together on team nights out - but they were both in relationships and swore it was only friendship. Both are fucking one another's brains out now. The girl has left her husband, regrets she is a mother and the guy obviously had those fantasies of fornicating under a fullmoon. He was in the friend-zone for two years before this happened.

Consider this: women know what dogs men are. If your partner doesn't mind you enjoying cream tea and scones with the fairer sex then it means she's either allowing it because some other guy is up to his nuts in her guts, she realises how effeminate you are and understands your need to catch up on the goss about how fit Luke is on accounts and how Cindy is a total slut for kissing Mark, or after years of misogyny and domestic abuse you've crushed all the self-esteem of your partner and enjoy rubbing her nose in the fact the Tracy enjoys a flirt with you. But oh, if the missus thinks she's going to go out for a glass of wine with James you'll just have to remind her how fat and ugly she is and that NO ONE will ever want her!!!1!1!1

Me, I've got female friends - but I would find it impossible to meet them for regular coffees without the fullmoon shining down onto our table like an accusatory spotlight whilst hordes of demons cackle and writhe in the shadows.

To answer your question you have to go right back to the early days of computing.

RAM refers to when messages were carried by sheep around AD 330 - 340, an average sheep carried 1000 papyrus scrolls depending on the distance and length of the note or letter.

For example 5 RAM equates to 5000 messages or as they are known today Megs. Overloading or as it was sometimes known overclocking a RAM with too many messages would enrage the RAM causing it to lash out and bite the handler. This led to the Latin term Megabyte.

As computing evolved the use of livestock decreased until the early 1500's when the first WANG computers were developed. Wang, a Chinese immigrant reknowned for whoring and his furious disposition found the use of black magic was far more efficient.

Summoning the Lord of Bandor on the 5th eve of the Solstice to bring sketches to life he would often make animated proclamations that baffled and terrified villagers. These cruse pornographic sketches were sometimes referred to as graphics.

Skipping forward 500 years, the modern Graphics Card contains an element of Wangs magic. Complex and mysterious, modern users are often unable to identify how or why there card is not working properly. Only those who shun the outside world for years, tucked away in dimly lit hovels tinkering with the dark arts can provide answers. They are often quick to anger and will only offer their sage advice to the truly deserving.

Wii U thread. They're not even improved by context because, like most vizzini gems, they bear little relevance to what was actually said. Page 622 of that thread, if you insist on seeing for yourself, but I recommend caution!

Why would you say 'at least you are still supporting Nintendo'?

... they are a business, not a family member!

Without support the company would die; purchasing a 3DS XL will obviously subsidise the Wii U and ensure first party support, Nintendo are a business that is true and I play with their consoles, I don't play with family members.

Yoshi's Island is like getting a tour of the whole candy shop and told you can have as much as you like, while Donkey Kong Country 3 is like eating a dinner that consists of spam and cardboard. The original is okay. There are too many enemies that don't have any particular function but are different models just for the sake of it, there are too many levels with boring layouts or gimmick levels that take the gimmick too far in the wrong direction and the animal companions and extended Kong family are wretched designs. Donkey Kong Country 3 is a staid followup to the second game, where the less is more philosophy could have done it a lot of good.

However, Donkey Kong Country 2 is really, really, really good. It and Returns are the only two games that can be considered classics that never age in the series.
